  • Area 3 Habitat Assessments and Pollinator Surveys October
    Inspiring change for Important Invertebrate Areas in the UK Area 3 habitat assessments and pollinator surveys 11th September 2014 Susan Thompson - Grants & Trusts Officer October 2016 (Updated April 2017) Jamie Robins Saving the small things that run the planet Executive Summary Buglife Services were commissioned by Kier Group Ltd in July 2016 to undertake a series of baseline habitat surveys within the Area 3 network, to identify sites where improvements for pollinators could be implemented. These results were then used to identify ten sites with the highest potential and deliverability, using a ranking exercise, in addition to a Kier owned depot. Buglife Services undertook more detailed habitat assessments and pollinator surveys during brief site visits in August 2016. Of the 11 sites surveyed, a total of 104 pollinator species were recorded. This comprised 18 Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), 33 Hoverflies, 18 other Diptera (true flies), 14 bees, 6 other hymenoptera and 11 other minor pollinators (e.g. true bugs and beetles). A further 38 incidental (non-pollinator) species were also recorded. These results and habitat assessments were used to provide management suggestions to enhance the value of these sites for pollinators. Where possible suggestions aimed to benefit key species recorded during site surveys, such as the Chalk hill blue butterfly (Polyommatus coridon), the Section 41 priority species Straw belle moth (Aspitates gilvaria) and the scarce (Nb) wasp Microdynerus exilis. Finally, recommendations for future survey and monitoring were provided, aiming to inform Kier of the progression of habitat improvements for pollinators and advise future management. Introduction There has been a growing interest in managing road verges and other transport features more sensitively for biodiversity.

  • Ipterists Digest
    ipterists Digest Dipterists’ Digest is a popular journal aimed primarily at field dipterists in the UK, Ireland and adjacent countries, with interests in recording, ecology, natural history, conservation and identification of British and NW European flies. Articles may be of any length up to 3000 words. Items exceeding this length may be serialised or printed in full, depending on the competition for space. They should be in clear concise English, preferably typed double spaced on one side of A4 paper. Only scientific names should be underlined- Tables should be on separate sheets. Figures drawn in clear black ink. about twice their printed size and lettered clearly. Enquiries about photographs and colour plates — please contact the Production Editor in advance as a charge may be made. References should follow the layout in this issue. Initially the scope of Dipterists' Digest will be:- — Observations of interesting behaviour, ecology, and natural history. — New and improved techniques (e.g. collecting, rearing etc.), — The conservation of flies and their habitats. — Provisional and interim reports from the Diptera Recording Schemes, including provisional and preliminary maps. — Records of new or scarce species for regions, counties, districts etc. — Local faunal accounts, field meeting results, and ‘holiday lists' with good ecological information/interpretation. — Notes on identification, additions, deletions and amendments to standard key works and checklists. — News of new publications/references/iiterature scan. Texts concerned with the Diptera of parts of continental Europe adjacent to the British Isles will also be considered for publication, if submitted in English.

In this paper, we have briefly described the modifications of hind legs Insect Gears in Issus and mechanism behind the working of insect gears. G. Sai Karthik1* and Vinod S. Kukanur2 Introduction 1*Dept of Entomology, Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State nsects are the most diversified organisms on the earth due to their capacity of flight and presence of three pairs of Agricultural University, Hyderabad, Telangana (500 030), India legs that helps in their better locomotion. Insect legs have 2International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics, I several structural modifications like large femur, strong tibia, Hyderabad, Telangana (502 324), India heavy musculature etc. that enable their faster movements to serve their various purposes. Insects show a wide range of modifications in legs that suits their lifestyle. One of such modification which was recently discovered is briefed here. A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque, change the speed, creating a mechanical advantage. We humans think that we are pretty smart by inventing some dizzy array of machines and mechanisms that utilizes the so called ‘gears’ in their functioning, but Open Access evolution has once again outraged us, this time a million years ago.

A. Yefremova & V. D. Kravchenko Abstract The article reports on the quantitative description of the food web structure of the community consisting of 65 species of Lepidoptera leaf miners reared from 34 plant species, as well as 107 species of parasitoid eulophid wasps (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga in Russia over 13 years (2000-2012). Leaf miners have been found to be highly host plant-specific. Most of them are associated with only one or two plant species and therefore the number of links between trophic levels is 73, which is close to the total number of Lepidoptera species (linkage density is 1.12).

  • Leafminers Nunn & Warrington
    More dots on the map: further records of leafmining moths in East Yorkshire Andy D. Nunn1 and Barry Warrington2 1Hull International Fisheries Institute, School of Biological, Biomedical & Environmental Sciences, University of Hull, Hull, HU6 7RX, UK. Email: [email protected] 236 Marlborough Avenue, Hessle, HU13 0PN, UK. Email: [email protected] The apparent scarcity of many leafmining moths in East Yorkshire (see Sutton & Beaumont, 1989) is at least partly due to a lack of recorder effort, and a number of previously presumed scarce or rare moths are actually relatively widespread (Chesmore, 2008; Nunn, 2015). One of the aims of a previous article (Nunn, op. cit.) was, hopefully, to encourage searches for leafminers in an attempt to redress the imbalance of records in Yorkshire. This article summarises our 'leafminering' highlights from 2015. A number of sites in VC61 were searched for leafmining moths (Table 1). Sampling effort varied considerably between sites. AN’s ‘leafminering’ opportunities were mostly restricted to casual observations while on family outings; BW’s focussed on sites that could be reached using public transport. The most time was spent in the Hessle area and a productive site in Hull. In October, the authors joined Charlie Fletcher and Ian Marshall for a day in an under- recorded 10km square, concentrating on the Settrington area. North Cliffe Wood was visited only in late spring and early summer, and other sites were visited briefly in the autumn. Table 1. Most notable records by the authors of leafmining moths

    Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE IRISH BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS (LEPIDOPTERA) WITH A CONCISE CHECKLIST OF IRISH SPECIES AND ELACHISTA BIATOMELLA (STAINTON, 1848) NEW TO IRELAND K. G. M. Bond1 and J. P. O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.
